    House sitting from November to March 2025

    May you be mindful and get the best out of these times.
    We pray for your health and resilience.

    This will be Our future project:

    We would love to invite you to share our positive trace at Maipo Shanti.
    We have a large garden, 2 dogs and a lodge, which we occasionally rent out the weekends which requires general maintenance.

    We are open to your creativity and talents, so any type of sustainable home improvements are welcome!
    Feel free to share your ideas with us to make this place special.

    We are living in Cajón del Maipo part-time, an hour away from Santiago city. Our house is situated right in front of a river and mountains with lots of native trees, where you will be peaceful and relaxed.

    There are beautiful mountains and thermal water within 2 hours from our home. You can also enjoy trekking, rafting, climbing, and bathing in rivers nearby.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    Here in Maipo the environment is completely different to Santiago, despite being so close.
    Buses run every 15mins. to Santiago so Workawayers can explore the city for a reasonable price, or even you could go with me in a car when I am here.
    Sharing meals and travel experiences is a very nice exchange.
    Please feel free to read my feedback, as they tell you an honest account of previous Workaways experiences!
